These ball valves withstand tough operating conditions
AS-Schneider
The new KB and KC Ball Valve Series products (photo) are designed for the most demanding CPI and petroleum-refining applications. A floating ball allows for relatively low torque, even under difficult conditions. They withstand pressures up to 420 bars, and temperatures of –30 to 232°C. Carbon steel and stainless steel are available as standard body materials, but other special alloys (such as Alloy 400 and Alloy C-276) can be used for the body. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and reinforced polyetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are used for the ball seat. The valves are tested and certified according to ISO 15858 and are also Fire Safe tested and certified according to ISO 10497/API 607. — AS-Schneider, Nordheim, Germany
